Ants in my keyboard:
Not that I would ever eat
cookies while blogging…

Do you know all these
words? ‘Merican Heritage
thinks high school grads should.
Most of the words on
that list are entire lines of
haiku by themselves:
circumnavigate
obsequious xenophobe
recapitulate

I’m nearly certain
I have counted wrong somewhere.
Are you checking me?
I can’t decide how
many syllables in the
word "entire." Two, three?
Perhaps it depends
on just how Southern you are.
En-tye-err? Ent-ire?
Lovely Haiku. Don’t forget to submit it for poetry Friday. The round up is at Adventures in Daily Living – http://adventuresindailyliving.blogspot.com/
Totally creative and talented post! Love it!
Fun post, Lissa! I was counting syllables without even thinking about it… how’d you know? Maybe “entire” technically has 2, but it sure sounds like there’s another 1/2 syllable in there when this lifelong Hoosier says it and I’m sure there are Southerners who can get at least another syllable or two out of it!
I thought the Southerners would be the ones pronouncing entire with 2 syllables: en-TARR. Loved the one about the ants!
Baa haa!I was counting and entire totally threw me. I know it SHOULD be 2, but goldarn it if it don’t sound like 3 when I say it. Y’all.
LOL about the ants!
Glad someone is haikuing around here. 😉 I’m too busy trying to figure out how to knit and grow a baby at the same time, lol. 🙂
As I read, my kids are watching Paula Deen on the Food Network. My vote is for *at least* three syllables.
Ellen has a good point about en-TARR. Maybe it depends where in the South?
